Community Posts, Tips & Support on Second Trimester

Pregnant with my 2nd and everyone keeps asking what names we have in mind, what we’ve bought, what pictures we’ve took…and I just feel like I’m struggling to keep up this time. Time is flying by and I feel like I should be doing more but also don’t know where to start? Anyone else feel the same?

I’m 35+4 and my belly feels so full of limbs and uncomfortable. I have a c-section booked at 39 weeks but not sure how I’m going to manage another 3 weeks and a bit weeks with this feeling of heaviness, anyone else?

I’m 30 weeks and I feel like I’ve been eating terribly throughout my pregnancy.. I’ve also not been great at taking my vitamins. But I’ve also been running around and caring for my 2 year old so I never have much time to even think! Please can someone send some reassurance 😬😬

I feel horrible saying this because I love the little kicks and the closeness and I cannot WAIT to have my little baby in my arms but I am 32 weeks and I fucking hate being pregnant!!! I’ve lost everything! I’m in constant pain and there never seems to be any relief, working is actually painful and my emotions and ...

Anyone else dealing with this? I want to say I am followed by cardiologist and have chronic hypertension. BP and everything is fine. But when the palps happen… I get the worst anxiety. Just wanting to know if anyone else is dealing and how you stop the anxiety when they happen?

So does anyone know why I never had a glucose test in my first pregnancy but I have had to have one today in my second? They put it down to me having pcos. I’ve never not had pcos, suffered with it since I was 16 so I’m confused as to why it was never checked in my first if that was the case?🤷🏼‍♀️

35w+3, first baby, gestational diabetes Should I be concerned (for potentially missing my Xmas dinner) that my bump has dropped, I’ve been starving hungry for 3 days, suuuper emotional and I have “period pains”? 😬🎄 Hoping for a new year baby not a Christmas one ! Thanks all

Is anyone still on their first post natal period? I have been on mine for almost 2 weeks now… should I be worried or is this normal?

Struggling at work with the nausea and just feel completely drained and wiped out. Has anyone got any tips or in the same boat? Different this time round with a 2 year old 🥱

If you had the Natera Panorama NIPT test, how long did it take you to get your results back? They just received my sample today, I have my fingers crossed we will have the results by Christmas, but also, I have a gender reveal to plan 😂 also, would love to see what the results will look like with twins if someone…

Transvaginal. Anyone have any guesses just for fun. The ramzi theory.

What do you think helped most in losing weight if you had significant gain during pregnancy?

6 day early test, which is more accurate? I’m going to order some on Amazon before Christmas 🙈

It’s very early days 4+3, I think I have norovirus, I’m not managing to keep anything down yet. It only started this morning. Can anyone provide any advice please?

Hi girls! I am 36 weeks tomorrow and I know you aren’t meant to start really collecting colostrum until 37 weeks but I have noticed I’m leaking a little bit (TMI🤣). I don’t want to ‘waste’ any but how early did people start collecting? Thank you 🩷

Got my GDT tomorrow and dreading it as heard so many negative storys and plus I've got anxiety so it doesn't help.. anyone thought that it wasn't that bad when they had it done? X
